It is actually quite hard because the villagers are really quite threatening. I thought I found a cheese strat of leaning against a building and shooting it, but thankfully those damn villagers kept me in check.\n\nThe limitations of the aiming and chomping mechanics add to the fun because you really have to plan your moves. The arcing of the arrows is also great because it adds to the challenge of fighting villagers head on.\n\nThe graphics and music are really perfect for a game of this scope. In combination they really give it a lot of charm. I especially liked the UI and HUD elements.

Loved the low poly models (them clouds though), and the look of the particle effects\/fire fit very well.  \n\nI wasn't sure at first that you could destroy the gates as well as the houses.  Hitting them a few times did set them on fire, but the fire would go out and didn't really indicate it was being damaged. Until you said something in the stream chat, I wouldn't have though to hit them some more.\n\n\nThe controls for the most part were great.  Took some time to get used to the upwards velocity when moving left or right.  Would be nice to have some control over that, or maybe even an option to \"glide\" with the dragon for a limited time in horizontal line\n\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"jasperarmstrong","author_uid":"1006309","time":"2017-12-08T23:58:03Z","epoch":1512777483,"modified":1512777483,"text":"Cool game!
